Chapter 44
Whole Again
Trevor
“Where is she?”I demand as I rush into the private medical center Lynn was rushed to.
She collapsed on stage. This was her last concert of the tour before she returns home to me. When I got the call, I hopped right on the plane Tasha had waiting for me.
I’m so grateful her last show was here in Califorina. She was surrounded by people I trust. My heart is racing.
“Right in here,” the nurse says as she points me to an examination room.
I find Lynn munching on crackers with a smile on her face. I move to her side lightening fast. She gives me that big old smile as she looks up at me.
“Well, there’s the stallion,” Roni sings as I stop by the bedside and cup Lynn’s face. “I’ll step out and get the doctor.”
“What’s going on? Are you all right?”
“I’m fine. Actually, I’m more than fine. You, on the other hand, might want to have a seat.”
“Good evening, folks. You must be Mr. Monroe. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Dr. John Nobi, this is my colleague, Dr. Omid V-Shah. If you don’t mind, he will be sitting in as this an extremely rare case.”
“Is she all right? Please tell me what’s going on.”
“She fine. We’ll do an ultrasound and explain. First, let me congratulate you. Miss. Galveston is about four months pregnant. Technically.”
“Technically, what’s that supposed to mean?”
“Can I tell him? I want to tell him?” Lynn says excitedly as her eyes light up.
“Someone tell me something now.”
Dr. Nobi chuckles. “Sure, you can do the honors.”
“It’s called Superfetation. You knocked me up twice. I’m super fertile and you have super sperm or something like that,” she says excitedly.
“What?”
“Honey, I knew twins ran in your family, but you were just showing off,” she teases.
“If you look here, you’ll see baby A. Baby A is a few weeks more developed than baby B and C,” Dr. Nobi says.
“Well, damn,” I breathe as I slowly turn to face Lynn.
She looks so happy. I have so many questions. My head is spinning.
“You’re not happy?”
“Darlin’, I think I’m in shock. Wait, is this safe for them? Her and the babies?”
“It will be perfectly safe for mother. Baby B and C are at risk to be born prematurely because of baby A. However, we can talk about risk management options, or you can wait to talk to your care provider. We’ll be happy to help in any way we can,” Dr. V-Shah says.
“You got any whiskey?”
“Oh, come on now, Trev,” Lynn laughs.
I move to press my forehead to hers. I knew our love was strong, but damn. My chest swells with pride.
“As long as she’s gonna be okay, I’m happy. I love you, darlin’. Let’s get you guys home.”
